Chapter 39 Visit to Xianchiyama Island

Pu Hui's army was suddenly ambushed by Changhong and Wang Mei's Taifu Mountain volunteers in Lishi Village, with heavy casualties. Pu Hui saw Chang Hong waving a tiger's head double hook to kill the Chinese army, and hurriedly waved the mountain axe to fight. He used a unique skill of "catching the mountain to save his mother" against Chang Hong. Chang Hong's head split it. Chang Hong saw that Pu Hui's power was strong and the force was fierce. He hurriedly legs * horse's belly, and the leopard and horse rose into the sky and flashed aside. Chang Hong immediately organized a counterattack, and a move wrapped in the wind and went straight to Pu Hui's upper three roads. Pu Hui fell into the air with an axe and was busy. Seeing Chang Hong's double hooks quickly attacking him, he was so scared that he quickly turned his head away, and his whole body was oblique on the horse to avoid this deadly move. However, his left shoulder was pulled by Chang Hong's right hook, and only a "bang" sound was heard. Even a piece of belt meat was pulled down, which made Pu Hui's tears almost come out of pain. On the battlefield, life and death fought, and there was no time to cry. Pu Hui endured the severe pain and, under the escort of his own soldiers, died out of the siege and fled in the direction of time.

At this time, Wang Mei also waved bright silver wings and led the volunteers to kill the Tang army. Although the number of the Tang army was large, because they were all government soldiers, the recruitment time was not long. Most of them were new soldiers*, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. When they encountered a raid, they were already scared and fled when they saw that the main general was injured and fled. They had no time to escape.

Pu Hui was like a bereaved dog. He quickly left the battlefield and came to Gao Zhouyi with the defeated soldiers. Gao Zhouyi saw that there were only three or 400 people following Pu Hui and knew that he had been defeated. He asked coldly, "What's wrong with General Pu?"

Pu Hui saw Gao Zhou Yi's words, and his own soldiers were not many, and he didn't have the capital to say tough words, so he had to suppress his grievances and said, "The last general was incompetent. He was ambushed by the thief and suffered heavy losses. General Gao has been fighting for a long time and must have a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Gao Zhou Yi wanted to stay, but after listening to Pu Hui's words, it aroused his fighting spirit. Gao Zhouyi immediately sent an order: "I don't believe that the thief has three heads and six arms. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the thief being busy cleaning up the booty, our army can hide it, which can have a surprising victory."

Gao Zhouyi arranged for Pu Hui to return to Yuezhou to recover from his injuries, and then urged the Tang army to march west to fight with the rebels so that he would go back to the order. He was still guessing that the volunteers were picking up the trophies in Lishi Village. Gao Zhou Yi was angry from his heart, and he was evil to the edge. He shouted harshly, "God-killed thief, where are you going? Beat me fiercely!" Tang Bing shouted and rushed over with the crowd. As soon as the volunteers saw it, they shouted and dispersed. Gao Zhou Yi ordered Tang Bing to seize the time to pick up the military supplies. After a long time, Tang Bing picked them up. They were all breathless and sweating profusely. Gao Zhou Yi ordered them to rest in place and planned to camp here.

At this time, only the shouts were heard. Xu Tangju, Chang Hong and Wang Meibing came to kill the Tang soldiers in three ways. At this time, it was dusk and the sight was not clear. Tang soldiers first arrived and were unfamiliar with the terrain. How could they resist the morale and familiar terrain? Gao Zhouyi waved a doorknife and urged his subordinates to fight with the volunteers. However, the army was in chaos. The Tang soldiers rushed around and were attacked by the volunteers several times, killing and injured. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Gao Zhou Yi had to organize a breakout. In the night, he was bumping into Wang Mei, a man and a horse. Wang Mei stood up with bright silver wings. "Shu" was just a few tire, killing Gao Zhou Yi in a hurry and sweating coldly. Gao Zhou Yi and Wang Mei used to be old friends. At this time, they had already seen that they were Wang Mei, his old friends. He quickly bowed and bowed immediately: "Brother Wang Mei, for the sake of your old friend, let me go this time. My family is in Luoyang. If you surrender, your family will definitely not be able to keep it."

Wang Mei is a kind person. Seeing Gao Zhou Yi begging bitterly, she couldn't bear it, so she ordered her subordinates to flash aside and let dozens of people go. Gao Zhou Yi's armor was crooked and fled back to Yuezhou in confusion. Seeing Wu Yanhong, he talked about the situation of the war. Wu Yanhong listened and had to comfort him a few words and let Gao Zhouyi go back to rest. Because Gao Zhou Yi is usually authentic and has followed Wu Yanhong for many years, Wu Yanhong did not embarras him.

The Rebel Lishi Village broke through the Tang army, captured a lot of heavy supplies, and captured 2,000 to 3,000 Tang soldiers. The children of the nearby people came to join the army one after another. After the adaptation, Xu Tangju's army developed to more than 8,000 people, which was very powerful. Xu Tangju sent Chang Hong to lead 3,000 people to assist Langzhou, and the rest of the people were trained by him and Wang Mei in Lishi Village and Taifu Mountain.

Chang Hong led a man to the city of Langzhou. When he saw Wang Chongyin, he talked about the victory of Lishi Village. Wang Chongyin was overjoyed and arranged Chang Hong to attack Langzhou Dongcheng. Chang Hong led his army to attack with ladders in Dongcheng overnight. The Tang army in Langzhou was looking forward to reinforcements for many days. There was no message and the army had no fighting spirit. Hu Zhen and Gu Yanlang were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, with an early retreat. Dongcheng was attacked by the fresh army led by Chang Hong, and Tang soldiers were defeated one after another. When Wang Chongyin saw that Chang Hong had broken through the east city, he immediately ordered the army to attack the south city, and quickly broke through the city wall and penetrated deep. Hu Zhen and Gu Yanlang had no intention of fighting, abandoned the inner city, opened the north gate, and ran to Yuezhou with more than a thousand Tang soldiers.

Wang Chongyin and Chang Hong entered the city, and the people have finished recruiting troops and horses in Langzhou, accumulating grass and storing grain, and rapidly improving their military strength. The team has developed to more than 20,000 people. Together with Xu Tangju and Wang Mei in Taifu Mountain, there are 30,000 people. They have initially established a firm foothold in the Dongting Lake area and strongly cooperated with the Huang Chao army in the Central Plains. The strategy unfolds.

One day, Xu Tangyu and Wang Mei chatted in Taifu Mountain. Wang Mei asked, "Brother Xu, you have been up for three years. Why can't you calm the world?" Xu Tangyu sighed, "Brother Wang Mei, you don't know anything. The righteous teacher has won a lot, but he often suffers defeats. I analyze the reason. One of the important reasons is that the righteous teacher lacks strategic military teachers. Although General Huang Chao is full of genius, wisdom and courage, with the expansion of the team, there are too few talents to be managed by a few talented people.

Wang Mei listened and thought about it. Suddenly, he patted his thigh, his eyes shining, and said to Xu Tangju, "Brother Xu, yes, I just thought of a man whose surname is Fei and his name is passed down to ancient times. This man has a talent for heaven and earth, reads the classics and history, and has a deep understanding of military tactics. In my opinion, its talent is no less than Kong Ming and Wei Zheng. This man lives on Chishan Island near Lishi Village. Why didn't the eldest brother invite him here? "Co-Xi'an Tian Bu Jun Ping's great cause?"

When Xu Tangju heard this, he suddenly became energetic and said, "Brother Wang Mei, with such a virtuous talent, why don't you come quickly? If you know this person, I will entrust you to do this matter. Tomorrow you bring some gifts and invite this person to Chishan Island with a few smart volunteers. I continue to train soldiers in Taifu Mountain so that I can fight on the battlefield as soon as possible.

Wang Mei shook her head and said, "Brother Xu, this man is unyielding. You must invite him in person to have the possibility of going down the mountain."

Xu Tangyu thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll arrange tomorrow's training. I'll go with you to invite Mr. Fei."

The next morning, Xu Tangju got up early, which was also a habit he had formed over the years. When he was a child, his family was poor and his parents died. He worked as a long-term worker in a large family in Huazhou and came out early every day to boil water to chop wood and graze cattle and sheep. The owner of that big family, surnamed Liu, is a devout Buddhist. He is generous and kind. Seeing that he is loyal, honest and smart, he let him listen in his private school, so Xiao Tang Ju also knows a few words. When the master was in high interest, he also played chess with Xiao Tang Ju. Xiao Tang Ju quickly realized that his chess skills actually surpassed that of the master.

The master was very surprised. One day, he said to Xiao Tang Ju, "Tang Ju, I think you are upright, not afraid of hardship, and smart and easy to learn. Now it is a troubled time. In the future, you must learn some martial arts to survive better. I have hired a martial arts teacher for you. He is a monk and a Zen master Huiming. He and I have been friends for many years and are proficient in Shaolin kung fu. You can learn from him. When I grow up, my daughter Liu Ying will entrust it to you.

Although little Tang Ju was only eleven or 12 years old, his heart was sharp. He nodded sensiblely and looked back at Liu Ying. Liu Ying's face was like red cloth. She turned shyly and went to her boudoir.

Little Tang Ju learned martial arts with Zen Master Huiming for five years. He was proficient in 18 kinds of weapons, and especially liked to practice Fang Tianhua halberd. One day, Zen Master Huiming said to him, "Tang Ju, in the past five years, you have made great progress in learning martial arts as a teacher. Shaolin martial arts, extensive and profound. Practicing martial arts is aimed at self-defense and eliminating violence and peace. You must not be capricious and brave. Do you remember what you said as a teacher?

Zen Master Huiming continued: "Up to now, I have officially taught three apprentices, the eldest apprentice Xu Yun. Now he is a monk in Songshan Shaolin Temple, and is good at using a deer tendon rattan snake stick, which is currently the most skill among my apprentices; the second apprentice Zhang Lin, Jianghuai, five-section serial gun makes it amazing; your Fangtian painting halberd, its halberd method From Lv Bu of the Three Kingdoms, the changes are endless. As long as you practice hard, you will definitely become a halberd in the world. Well, the teachers who should be handed over have been handed over. Starting today, I will travel around as a teacher. You have to remember my words. If you do evil in the future, the rules of the teacher should clean up the door.

Little Tang Ju raised her face, looked at Zen Master Huiming, and said reluctantly, "Master, Tang Ju remembers your words. You should take care of yourself!" As you said, I will be chivalrous and righteous, eliminate harm for the people, and punish the bad people in the world!"

"Amitabha, good! Good!" After Master Huiming finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared.

Later, Pang Xun raised justice, and the government sent troops to recruit and suppress it, and forced the owner to hand over money, food and materials. The owner couldn't bear the suffering of the people and did not cooperate with the government's expropriation. Some scoundrels were instigated by the surrounding rich owners to falsely accuse the owner. The owner was confiscated and died unjustly after being imprisoned. Xu Tangju was sad and indignant. He carried Fang Tianhua halberd and took Liu Ying to fight with some Zhuangke and Huazhou officers and soldiers. Finally, because he was outnumbered, he was killed by the officers and soldiers led by Du Yu, and Liu Ying did not know where he was going. After Xu Tangju came out of the siege, after several twists and turns, he joined Wang Xianzhi's salt sales team and followed Wang Xianzhi to raise the anti-Tang flag...

The past is like crying. This morning, because he was going to visit Fei Chuangu, Xu Tang Ju thought a lot along the way. He said to Wang Mei, "Brother Wang Mei, an army can't be killed by soldiers alone. Someone must make suggestions, arrange troops, and have a clear and scientific military management system to really become bigger."

Wang Mei nodded: "Brother Xu is really not simple and has a strategic vision. I want to learn from you."

The two talked as they walked. Unconsciously, it took a long time. After several inquires, the entourage confirmed the location of Fei Chuangu's residence. At this time, it was early spring. On Chishan Island, the birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and the butterflies dancing and bees were noisy. Shepherds could be seen everywhere across the cow's back and humming songs. Xu Tangju heard a shepherd boy singing: "In the first month, shepher herding sheep in the first month, walking alone in the red mountains; the sheep flock walked forward, and the slave sobbed behind. February sheep herding is the spring equinox, and hundreds of grass sprout and sprout; sheep do not eat Dongshan grass and want to chase the West slope to suffer slaves. March sheep herding is Tomb-sweeping Day, and Xiushu is placed in the Dragon Palace in Shanghai; the slave family is originally a dragon princess, so why did they force me to be worthy of mortals? ......”

Xu Tangjun asked, "This pastoral song sounds very desolate, as if it were a young woman's self-refusing. I don't know what the name of the song is? There must be a folklore in it.

Wang Mei smiled and said, "Brother Xu is so hard to hear! Suddenly, I heard the door. The song is called "Shepherd Song". It is said that this "Shepherd Song" was written and sung by the third princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The reason is that when the third princess went to heaven to visit the Jade Emperor, she broke an ice bowl. The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered the Platinum Star to lead her to the mortal world to suffer. The third princess was really miserable and was sent to a particularly stingy rich man's family as a daughter-in-law. A few days after her marriage, the rich man forced her to do all kinds of rough work. The poor beautiful and intelligent third princess was tortured. She sang her own song while grazing. Later, she was known by the fairy boy sent by the emperor to understand the life of the third princess. She gave the third princess her blood book to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Long * was angry and sent him The royal brother Qinglongwang smashed two holes in the rich man's house with two corners, and only heard a loud noise. In addition to Chishan Island and Junshan, where the poor people live, the whole rich man's family, together with thousands of miles of flat land, fell down and became a vast and unfathomable lake. This is today's Dongting Lake.

After listening to this sad and touching folk story told by Wang Mei, Xu Tang Ju was intoxicated and was recalling the fate of the third princess of the Dragon King. A personal soldier came to report: "General Xu, General Wang, Mr. Fei's house has arrived!"
